For some reason, Austin news stations have run several stories this week that should be of interest to Austin personal injury lawyers and our clients. First, the city of Austin is installing its first red light cameras. Right now, the cameras are only at a couple of intersections around town, but if they catch on, they could be a great source of evidence in future auto accident claims.

The Austin police department also issued a release about the disturbing number of pedestrians killed in traffic accidents. Most of the fatalaties seem to be the result of people attempting to cross busy streets, including I-35.

And finally, all of the stations had stories about the Mattel toy recall.
